Owning a heavy-duty truck, like, say, a Dodge Ram, comes with a certain type of aesthetic. It’s all about power. Whether you want the truck for its towing and hauling ability or just because you think it looks cool, there’s an unmistakable aura of strength and durability that surrounds the powerhouse that is the heavy-duty truck. That’s why it’s no surprise that BD Diesel, formerly Valley Fuel Injection Ltd., offers so many aftermarket parts to make your truck even better than when you first drove it off the lot.

BD Diesel made it’s mark in the automotive industry with the advent of the exhaust brake for what would later become the Diesel pick-up truck market. Today, however, the company focuses on the many facets of the diesel power train market. That’s why it’s one of the best brands to shop when looking to buy for your Heavy-Duty truck.

You finally bought your dream truck, a muscle-bound, full size Ram. It has enough torque to carve the sequel to the Grand Canyon, and room enough to protect your entire family from the definitely impending zombie apocalypse. It’s an awesome tribute to American ingenuity, a monument to getting dirt under your fingernails and working hard enough to work out while working. But there’s always room for improvement. So we put together a list of some of our favorite Ram mods and upgrades, many of which you can install yourself, right in your garage or driveway. We get it: You have to budget for parts. Since they’re not made out of cardboard and corn starch, they tend to cost a little more than your average giant barrel of cheese poofs, which is okay, since they last longer and are more nutritious. So we organized these parts by price, from lowest to highest, so you can map out your own path for your Ram upgrades. Continue reading “Ram 1500 Mods: A Complete Guide”

You didn’t buy some three-row, seven seat, softroading SUV for hauling around your kid’s soccer team. You bought a truck with a bed. And in your day, you’d just toss the whole soccer team back there anyway and head on down to the Dairy Queen for a post-tourney choco-dipped chocolate cone.

The truck bed leaves your cargo disorganized, exposed to the weather, and vulnerable to the damage that comes with flopping around on a metal truck bed, like that soccer team. We’ll help. Here are four of our very favorite bed mods for our 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab with a 5.8 ft bed. Continue reading “AutoModding Your Silverado’s Truck Bed: 4 Simple Mods”
